Letters of reference are an important piece of an overall application to the health professional schools. The Prehealth Committee at UB assists students with putting together a comprehensive packet of letters of reference for admission to the professional health schools of medicine, dentistry, optometry, podiatry, veterinary and chiropractic. Dependent on when you are applying to the professional health schools, you may be completing the process as either a sophomore (Early Assurance Programs) or junior/senior/post-grad (regular admission). There are three annual deadlines - April 1 (with individual letters due April 15), September 1 and December 1 which is often reserved for Early Assurance applicants. You are best advised to learn about the Committee early in your preparation and complete the Committee process while considering two important factors: the overall timeline of professional school admissions and when you are most competitive. You may set up an appointment with either prehealth advisor to discuss the Committee process at any point in your academic career.
